I'm trying to describe a situation involving love and such to a Russian friend of mine, but I cannot find the right verb for "going out", as in "All of my friends want to go out with one another". In other words, they all want to date each other. The verbs for 'dating' and 'going out' would be much appreciated, and they would make explaining my situation much easier.

Need some help....

I just recently became a tutor for Russian immigrants for a local agency around my area. My job is to teach them how to read, write, and speak English. I do not know any Russian and I have to make my own cirriculum from scratch. I have no idea what to start with or how I could make it easier for them because they cannot speak English at all. Any ideas on how to make this program work for us? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

I can't figure out how to translate the following:

1. It's hard to live with a person like you.

2. You're not fooling anyone but yourself.

3. They only think about themselves.

4. They were laughing at themselves.

In general, can someone explain to me how to use "себя" properly?
